Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are two medical imaging methods commonly used to image prostate cancers. However, the relationship between images obtained with these methods and prostate cancer aggressiveness is not well understood. Here, we investigate whether MRI and PET can differentiate between lower- and higher-grade prostate tumors, where grade is an indicator of how aggressive the disease is likely to be. We find that the characteristics of prostate cancer tumors as seen on MRI and PET scans can help to predict tumor grade. This means that these imaging methods may be helpful when clinicians are predicting patient prognosis and deciding on appropriate treatments. However, further validation is necessary before these approaches are widely implemented for this purpose.
